i am caught in between winter and spring like a raindrop caught in the space between a cloud and the ground. like the rain, i am always moving; i am heading towards spring. on some days, though, the ground seems very far away.

i love winter - the snow, the holidays, the tea drinking weather, scarves, cold toes - all of it. i also love spring, the season of growing things in which i lay aside my bulky winter boots for sandals, the season when gentle breezes are cool but not biting.

it is this space in between the two that i do not enjoy. life has not yet begun to spring up from the warm earth, but the snow is melting, leaving behind bare, ugly, brown grass and mud. i want either winter's snow of spring's rain fall, but not this mix of the two.

if only the snow would melt completely.

if only a warm rain and some sunshine would encourage the little growing things.

if only the world around me could be full of color once again.

until then, i am caught between seasons, leaving one before i can arrive at the other, like a raindrop caught between a cloud and the ground.

i am sorry for neglecting you all recently. i have nothing to offer as an excuse besides the fact that life happens and moves on whether i blog or not. i know that when some bloggers come back from a break they write about how they are overflowing with photos and words and stories, but i am not. i have some ideas for posts, but i don't have hundreds of photos to share with you all, as much as i wish i did. rather, i just want to tell you that i hope to get back to blogging regularly, or at least a couple of times a week.

thank you for sticking with me and putting up with my inconsistency. i appreciate every one of you. i would also like to get to know you all a little better. what has been going on in your life recently? or maybe, if you are a newer follower, you could introduce yourself, tell me more about you. would you please?

i'll start.

i am emily. lately, i have been looking forward to spring (it comes a little late up here in maine) while doing my homework. i like to look out the window by my desk and think about green grass and golden dandelions. knitting makes me happy, as do brightly colored index cards.
